Thanks. Not really using these methods as a means to a 'weight loss' end, just a way for me to get more veg and fruit into my diet, since I don't eat enough of them whole...I don't like leafy greens at all, so blending them with other ingredients gets em in me. I enjoy a good salad, but it's not really enough of a veg…

I log every calorie...including blends and juices, and taking the fiber out of an apple does NOT reduce it's caloric count, so I'm very careful to make sure I log as close to exact as possible. Careful logging and being mindful of intake was key to my previous success, but small extraneous factors helped (like having the…

That's an interesting combo of veg you bullet...how's the flavor? Was it a recipe you found or something you simply 'whipped up'?

It didn't hold last time because I got divorced and moved out of the house...stress and depression put the weight back on, both of which I couldn't manage. I could have turned to drugs, but they don't taste as good...lol I'm not trying to stop eating/chewing my food btw, so don't misunderstand the post. I was looking for…

I eat whole fruit and veg as well, just not enough to get the 5-? servings I need. Also, I like to build daily habits, and having a machine and a process helps me do that...but I hear ya! I'd rather eat than drink given those options.

Used MFP back in 2014 to go from 250 to 165, and now I'm back in the same boat... alot of pounds and 1 divorce later. Finding it alot harder to get in the mindset to 'jump off' this time. Previously I started by adjusting and counting calories and diet, eliminating high calorie, processed foods for the most part, and then…

:glasses:

always audi...always

yup...I have a bigger fat-pouch on my left side belly than my right...it's crazy weird

might work...I'll try it for a few weeks and see if I notice a difference...I do mostly cardio, but I will push harder on the left when on the bike

well i'm right handed, so it's possible I favor the right...but my left side is just as tired when I'm done.

It probably calculated how much you burned since 12:01am...a 24 hr calculation from BMR

I prefer the Dark Magic, but right now I'm sipping on a Pumpkin Spice Green Mtn I got on sale at Target. I paid with cash. It's not the best cup of coffee (I prefer a french press or my Bialetti on Sunday morning), but it's damn convenient.

We have this weekly. I love it...can't get enough. I add extra green chiles, and at the end I broil for a few minutes to get the onions/peppers/chicken on top kinda charred.

Doesn't matter, though I don't like a workout too soon after heavy(er) foods. I usually eat bigger at lunch, early dinner and workout by 7pm.

Evernote and Evernote Food...best apps ever for recipes. Snap pictures, clip from the web browser, scan as a searchable PDF, tags, notebooks and sub-notebooks...OMFG! It's the king of recipe management. Set up lists of ingredients to pop up on your phone when you pull into the parking lot of the supermarket! I can't be the…

I picked mine up at 5 & Below...then I purchased a Door Anchor Strap from Amazon for 10$. I use it all the time. We live in a small townhome with WAY too much furniture, and I have a treadmill, as well as some heavier dumbells, but I get a wider range of exercises out of the resistance bands. I adjust by wrapping, so I get…

you just won the internet...

In it to win it. I wanna see that 8yr old boy o' mine turn 58!

salad....meh.

I use netflix and torrents...saves a ton of cash...

Same...YOLO

What you said...plus Hawk the Slayer

I've been going since end of May, so not new this week but new in the more general sense, and learning new things every day...request sent...ask me anything....Woot!

Dude! You're my hero...I started at about where you did and am shooting for your current weight, so I really appreciate your pics and info.

Kavinsky...I second that. Night Drive is also on my playlist

I'm 43, 5'5" and when I started a few months back I was at 245#. In the food business for close to 9 years, I knew I had let myself go. I was sick all the time and always tired and run down. I would never touch elective surgery, and diets are unsustainable. Life is going to throw good food at you, and I wanted to know that…

Feel free to add...open diary and always looking to share.
